# Specialty Crops

Specialty crops include fruits and vegetables, tree nuts, dried fruits, and horticulture nursery crops. Individual crop insurance programs are currently available for the following specialty crops:

## Locate a Whole Farm/Micro Farm Agent

Specialty and small-scale producers can now find a local crop insurance agent who has experience selling Whole-Farm Revenue Protection (WFRP) and Micro Farm policies with a new searchable directory.

Whole-Farm Revenue Protection and Micro farm are two of the most comprehensive risk management plans available, and were created for specialty crop, organic, urban, and direct-market producers.

## Whole-Farm Revenue Protection

                - Provides a risk management safety net to all commodities, including specialty crops, under one insurance policy and is the first Federal crop insurance program to be available in every state and county in the United States.
                - Is tailored for any farm with up to $17 million in insured revenue and includes farms with specialty or organic commodities (both crops and livestock), or those marketing to local, regional, farm-identity preserved, specialty, or direct markets.

Specialty crops are a priority at RMA, and federal crop insurance coverage for specialty crops has grown steadily over the past 15 years. In 2022, the amount of insurance for specialty crops totaled over $23 billion.

RMA continues to communicate with producers and other interested parties to identify where there is a need to expand the availability of risk management products to producers. Learn more about Expansions of Specialty Crops Programs.

RMA is always looking for ways to streamline processes and reporting requirements to make it easier for specialty crop producers and others who sell through direct marketing channels to obtain insurance, report their annual production, and file a claim. Read more.

RMA recently announced new and expanded risk management options for specialty and organic producers. Learn more.
